Psychiatry and Trauma with Vincenzo Di Nicola - Jouissance Vampires

We discuss the prevalence of trauma discourse, the philosophy of Alain Badiou, why social dynamics are often ignored by modern psychiatry and psychology, and we examine the history of the "anti-psychiatry movement" with special focus on R.D.
